My breasts have gotten quite full during pregnancy, and I'm wondering what happens after delivery. Do they usually go back to their original size, or even decrease?
Yes, our bodies go through so many changes and it can be emotional to see. My body felt so different after my loss and then my next pregnancy. Just be very gentle with yourself, these physical changes are normal but take time to accept.
I breastfed my baby for 18 months, and once we stopped, my breasts definitely got smaller and softer. It felt weird initially, but it's just the natural way the body retires from milk production. Don't worry, it's a very common experience for almost all of us.
It is completely normal to feel anxious about how your body is changing, I used to cry looking at myself in the mirror. Yes, breast size does decrease for most moms once weaning is done, but they might feel different than before. Give yourself some grace, you are doing amazing.
They do shrink eventually, so don't spend too much money buying expensive nursing bras in bulk right now! I bought just 2-3 decent ones from a local brand because our size keeps changing. It is better to save that budget for baby's vaccinations and pediatrician visits later.
Yes, they do go back close to their original size eventually! Mine definitely shrank after my normal delivery and once the breastfeeding journey ended. It's just amazing how our bodies adapt to each phase, so embrace it.
Haan, they do decrease and can feel a bit loose too. Don't worry, just start wearing a good, supportive cotton bra during the day to help with the shape. Simple ghar ke solutions like light massage with coconut oil during bath also helps.
It definitely changes, for me they shrank a lot post-weaning. But also keep an eye on your weight and get your thyroid checked regularly post-delivery if you feel other changes like extreme hair fall or fatigue. Hormones play a huge role in how our body shape changes.
After everything our bodies go through to bring these beautiful miracles into the world, some changes are bound to happen. For me, they did shrink a bit and lost some firmness after I stopped feeding. Sending you so much love, please don't be hard on yourself.
My size did go down after I stopped pumping, though they felt a bit softer than before. I had to strictly manage my diet due to gestational diabetes which also caused some overall weight loss, affecting my bust size too. Eating healthy and keeping active helps the body find its natural shape again.
Actually, my doctor explained that during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the milk glands expand making them bigger. Once you completely stop feeding, the fatty tissue replaces the milk glands, which can make them look smaller or even saggy. It is completely a hormonal change.
